Cork U-20 Hurlers 2025

[JimmyBarrySmurph]

For me the poster has clarified that his comments on the Cork manager go way beyond his role with our U20s. There is clearly a lot of hatred there. It seems deeply personal and he refers back to decades old incidents. The poster has also confirmed that he/she has had confrontations before with our manager including calling him a cu next Tuesday. That sort of thing happens unfortunately even at club level.

Clearly rational thought and balanced opinion will not prevail in analyzing the spirited performance of our U20s the last night.
I don’t think anymore needs to be said & it’s time to move the discussion on.

So to be clear your issue with Noel Furlong as u-20 hurling coach is that he struck a fella off the ball in an u21 club game 25 years ago or more?

Seems reasonable.

Furlong acted the prick on the pitch for a long time and is now doing it on the line. The player he struck got carried off on a stretcher

I'm not hearing a whole lot to justify their opinion of the guy tbh.

I was sitting on a bench in Fitzgerald's Park 1 day and he grabbed my last rolo. Unforgivable and certainly he's no role model.

Like I said, for it to have been a u21 game, this must have happened 25 years or more ago.

Do you not think it might be time to let it go?

He has a two year term so I'd suggest the gripers pull on their big boy pants and suck it up.

I heard it was a mint with the hole and you loved it..

Time to build a bridge…. or go on strike

Tbf, he walked on water, when he was in charge of that freakish minor team. Once he moved to the seniors, it was open seseason.

Niall Mccarthy was a minor selector that year and did a lot of good work with that minor team. Furlong shouldn't be near a Cork team, plenty of other ex players/coaches out there would do it

I know Niall, a nicer fella you couldn't meet.

I don't know Furlong tbh so Ill have to take your word for it.

He's coach for 2026 so in my mind at least there's little point in painting him as the great Satan.

Niall is a sound bloke, some player for Carrig and Cork
